Our son is currently in 8th grade and started in middle school in
Champion. The school has been providing excellent academic foundation.
Especially if your kid is interested in math, no other school in the bay
are comes close to this one - amount of time they spend in class,
1-on-1, math tournaments is just amazing. Speech & Debate is another
highlight of the school. The school will guide kids to research the
topic, build their own case and actively work with them in preparation.
Its amazing to see even 5th graders winning middle school championship
with their first debating tournament! My son recently appeared for High
School Placement Test (HSPT) and managed to get accepted in schools of
his choice. Without any additional tutoring, he achieved excellence
certificates in both English and Math. I am sure his debating and
academic achievements as well school recommendations helped him in a big
way. Principal knows each and every kid. I am really touched when
Principal cares not only about my 8th grader's academic progress but
also his eating and sleeping habits! The school is extension to our
family. We have a mixed feelings now, our son is ready for excitement of
high school, at the same time he is going to miss out big time on loving
and caring set up, he is in. I would highly recommend this school to
anyone, thanks.

Champion School is
one of a kind. My daughter is currently in Kindergarten and has been in
this school for three years since she was three years of age. This
school prides in its academic excellence but our main motivation at
enrolling her then was that we felt the staff was very caring and
compassionate which was very important for us at that age. My daughter
has never complained about the school and she loves the school and the
teachers very much. She enjoys learning here and look forward to going
to school everyday.

This school
is run by a great couple, whose teaching mechanism is excellent. They
pay very close attention to kids and give lot of 1 on 1 attention to any
kids who need it. The kids are also provided with treats for reading or
participating in any kind of activity during this time. Which is very
encouraging for the kids and they start to enjoy this time.

The fact I
like the most is that after I pick up my daughter from the school I
don't have to make her work on her homework. That is what I would expect
at this young age. They also teach by assessing each individual kid's
caliber, if your kid is capable of learning more they will help them
with it.

They have
debates, chess club and my daughter enjoys the PE classes which includes
soccer and other sports. They also do performance and recently I got to
see a wonderful and heartwarming performance by kindergarteners, a
musical show based on 'Annie'. This school was recommended by one of the
families who send both their kids here and have been very pleased with
the school. I truly believe that this school is worth a shot if you are
considering a private school.

- Arvind Family

Our
son started Champion school in 6th grade and is currently enrolled in
the 8th grade. We were looking for a school with nurturing and
supportive environment as well as great academic curriculum. The
Champion school has turned out to be exactly what we're looking for in
the middle school. The school offers advanced academic curriculum in
Math, English, Science and Computer Programming, etc. subjects as well
as excellent extra curricular activities such as Speech and Debate and
various national Math tournaments. Our son ended up finishing Algebra II
by the end of 7th grade. What amazed me about Champion school was the
hard work put up by the teachers and school principle to bring out the
hidden skills in the students. Our son loved the Speech and Debate
program offered by the school and he excelled in the Speech and Debate
program by constant encouragement of coaches and also won few trophies
at various Speech and Debate competitions held by National Speech and
Debate Association. Our son benefited tremendously from the support of
school and teachers, teachers offering 1:1s on the regular basis after
school to help our son. The 1:1 with teachers are offered at no extra
cost. The unique style of teaching, small class size, the advanced
curriculum with the minimum daily homework stands Champion school apart
from many other schools in bay area. We are very glad that we chose
Champion as the middle school for our son and we highly recommend it to
anyone looking for school with well-rounded education and great
academics.

- Thakore Family

"I
rarely post reviews, but I feel compelled as a parent to share my
experience at Champion for the benefit of other parents looking for a
good school for their young children. As a parent of 4 boys, I have
experience with numerous schools, both private and public. Champion is
unique in that the academic training that they impart to students is
second to none. Plus, they have a philosophy of complete support, so
that if a child is struggling in any area, he/she is provided one-on-one
tutoring sessions - at no extra cost. Let me provide 2 experiences which
directly speak to the high academic standards that Champion maintains
and imparts to all its students. My children have been attending
Champion for 5 years. Prior to attending Champion, they were all average
students. My oldest graduated from Champion (8th grade) in 2012 and
enrolled in 9th grade at a public high school - a very good school in
Fremont which has an overall rating of 9/10. My son immediately started
getting A's in Math and English without even putting much of an effort.
The reason for this was that he felt he was repeating much of the
material he had already studied at Champion in grades 6 and 7! Last
year, my 2nd son joined a highly rated public school in Raleigh-Durham
area in NC at 8th grade. Within the first semester, he was on the honor
roll and was selected to represent his class at a breakfast with the
County Commissioner of Schools! I can say without any reservation that
Champion's unique approach to teaching and their rigorous academic
standards have had a profound impact on the performance of my children.
Thank you , Champion School.

- Hashim Family

We are deeply grateful for everything this school has donefor
our 8th grader. Our child started here in fifth grade. Management is
very caring, responsive and always gives us time if we have a concern.
Our son is now much better in many many ways. In academics, sports,
debate, languages and essay writing. Some days they ask the child to
spend extra time at school with teachers when attention is needed in a
subject or just for home work. They even give children practice for high
school placement tests. When they say majority of the work in school,
they truly mean it. We wouldn't want it any other way. After spending
fours years here, our child is self sufficient, which is vital when a
child goes to high school. They have excellent teachers for the
demanding curriculum. As an example, our son studied lower level math at
his previous school. But now, he comfortably handles Algebra 2 /Trig. We
highly recommend this school.

Murali Family

My son has been to Champion school for about 3 yrs
now. He's in 2nd grade now. The teaching method and style is very much
like Harker. Both my nephew and niece go to Harker in higher grades than
my son. some times my family and the Harker kids are amazed that my son
learns things that they've not even learnt yet. There's a lot of 1-on-1
teaching and kids are accelerated based on their level. Almost no
pressure on parents. Very little homework and no need for parents to
stress out with projects, book reports, etc. If you are in a school like
challenger or stratford, you need to think about this school as it's
much advanced and much less expensive.

- Nithya Ranganathan, Parent

"Thank you for doing a wonderful job. My son Mohit is well adjusted
socio-emotionally and is progressing in his academics. Many parents ask
me why I chose Champion School for my child and I tell them: have you
read their web page. My son Mohit is proof that every word of their
web-site is true! Keep up the good work."

- Kulkarni Family

My daughter is now in her third year at Champion School
(2 year, 3 year, now pre-K). During these years we have observed
tremendous progress, both academically and socially. We are very happy
with the well rounded academic program (verbal, reading, analytical/math
and social skills) at Champion school. We also really appreciate the 1-1
instruction that helped my kid, both, to reach her potential while
raising her level of curiosity and enthusiasm to master new things. We
are very happy with Champion school and would highly recommend this
school to anyone.

- The Bhamidipati family

My son started Champion School 3 years ago as a 5th grader. Having just
immigrated from Russia, he was not able to speak or read English at
all.. The school provided some excellent guidance and suggestions on how
to immerse him in the English language over the summer break prior to
school beginning. . The first year was simply amazing! My son went from
not being able to speak or read English at all to participating in
debates and making truly amazing strides forward. The second year
included more debates and now the third year he's taking two advanced
subjects! The caring, supportive and nurturing environment which is
constantly associated with Champion School is not merely words, it is
reality and it works! I'm truly amazed by what my son has been able to
accomplish and by how much the teachers and staff truly care about the
students and finding a way to help each one learn at their own pace.
Thankyou, thankyou thankyou!.

- Mr. Doug Coatney, Parent

"Thank you for the personal attention your school provides to Sebastian
(preschooler).
We are amazed by his reading skill and writing own name at this age…"
- Mr. & Mrs. Woo, Parents

Champion school has been like a second home to my kid. I saw an all round
development of my son who completed his preschool (PRE-k) here. He learnt to
sing, read, write ... overcome his shyness. The one- on- one program, the
kids performances, the talent show, the kid-parent parties, have all
contributed in the development of my child. My son just loves his teachers.
I am amazed by the degree of individual attention the kids get in this
school. Every child is made to feel special.
- Mrs. Srivastava, Parent

Champion
Middle School is a great fit for our 7th Grader. Java Programming,
Debate, Soccer Coaching, Daily Math drills and minimal homework in a
small class size setting make for a very stimulating, well rounded and a
happy academic environment. He and we love his new school."
- The Saxena Family

"...we were so excited to come across Champion. "My daughter has made
amazing progress since she joined Champion school... She loves going to
school. I would highly recommend this school."

- Maureen Grey, Parent

We are amazed at Sharva’s quick progress both academically and socially.
Since he joined Champion School, his confidence has increased. He
enjoys going to school every day and is eager to meet his teachers and
friends. His teachers are very caring and helpful.
Champion School makes complex things easier for kids.
He is proud of himself, completing all of his wonderful projects. We
highly recommend this school.
- The Santhakumar Family

When my daughter started at Champion
school, she was very shy. But she
was able to adjust very quickly
because of the caring teachers and
started liking to go to school
within a month. The amount of
learning she is able to achieve is
also amazing. In just a few weeks
(after starting preschool), she
started to practice phonics on her
own and started reading in one
month. She just finished
pre-kindergarten and is reading at
1st grade level. And all that is
done in the school without any
homework or much home tutoring. It
is safe to say that their way of
teaching is very effective and the
staff are very caring. Socially my
daughter also made many friends in
school and is very active in classes

- The Fu Family

"We visited at least 10 other preschools before we signed up...Oviya has
shown high progress academically and socially...Champion is the best
school... provides high academics in a very friendly environment with
positive disciplinary method. We are very happy and proud that we made the
right decision.
- The Kamaraj Family

"The moment my son, Vincent, entered into Champion Preschool, he instantly
fell in love with the school... He has excelled leaps and bounds. We are
very proud of him and his new preschool."
- Jennifer Collado, Parent

"My 3 year old daughter enjoys preschool very much. She is very proud of her
newly learnt reading and writing skills. She brings home her art projects
and sings all the songs that she has learnt with glee. She is learning
through the songs and play. I am very happy with the progress she has made
after joining Champion Preschool. Thank you for making her early preschool
experience a happy one."

- Mona Moorkoth, Parent

"My two year old daughter and we love the preschool program at champion
school.
I have seen her learn a bunch of good manners from the first day she started
school. She loves her teacher and misses her so much while at home. We want
to thank her teacher and the school for the love and nurturing environment
they provide."
- Sudarsan and Family

"...we were so excited to come across Champion Preschool. We knew right away
that this was the place for our 2 year old son. Since attending Champion,
Jacob's verbal and social skills have improved significantly. ...We truly
feel that Champion preschool plays a vital role in Jacob's future academic
success.
A
big thank you to all the loving teachers at Champion School"
- The Lepe Family

This new school is like mini Harker. They specialize in differentiated
leaning/1on1 teaching program. There is a test to get in to their
elementary school program and it is not easy. If you have a young child,
start early from Champion preschool. Average Champion kids are one year
ahead of Challenger. No excessive homework. Great extra curricular:
Mandarin, Hindi, Spanish to choose from. PE, Soccer, Basketball. Music,
Dance, Arts, Debate, Speech, Java, Logo, Robotics... All of these
classes happen during school hour, so kids have more time to play after
school. It would be nice if the school had more ethnic diversity, but I
am sure that will change in a few years. Our child loves going to
Champion school and that's what matters in the end. Great school!

We decided to transfer our kids from Challenger to Champion Preschool
last year. We researched a lot before we transferred our kids. The Champion
Preschool is probably the only school to provide 'differentiated
instruction' for preschool age children in the Bay Area. In English and
Math, teachers make a customized plan to each student's needs and strengths.
Kids are grouped based on their ability. Every child gets one on one session
regularly. As a result, all students within a classroom can learn
effectively, regardless of differences in ability. Teachers are caring and
loving. Our kids are thriving and very happy. They also have a wonderful
Music and Art program. They invite a 'real pianist' to play piano every week
while kids sing and dance . (At Challenger, they just sing along with CD)
Overall it's great school. We highly recommend the Champion School to
everyone!

Its been just three days my son is going to Champion
School for kindergarten this year. Truly well grounded staffs and
wonderful head who offers help voluntarily by assigning the teachers to
the kids who needs one on one attention voluntarily there by making the
kids to excel well and making them to reach the next level. I highly
support and recommend this school to anyone who really wants a well
grounded education combined with great values.

My son completed his kindergarten here and we are extremely happy at the
progress he's made. From just knowing phonics, he's able to read
extremely well and can spell such hard words that is difficult for my
2nd grade niece who's in a top Private school. His Math skills has also
gone up to that of a 2nd grader. I would recommend this school
definitely well above Challenger and Stratford. Lot less pressure on
parents.

I just love this school. My son is
in Pre-K and he is already reading
fluently. The teachers are friendly
and give lot of individual
attention. The principal is very
involved in all the activities. It
is way ahead of Challenger and
Stratford schools.

I love the elementary school. It is very
well rounded. My child is in 2nd grade.
She is doing extremely well
academically, when I compare her to my
older child, who went to Stratford. They
also have a great sports and arts
program.

Excellent Elementary School. The best thing is that I have peace of mind
that my 2 sons are in such a caring environment. I can't say enough about
the principal's personal attention to every detail. My Kindergartner is
reading at a grade 3 level.
He is able to do additions and subtractions with borrow and carry. They are
actually doing hands-on science experiments. He is learning Soccer and
Basketball. There is music and dance. The most important thing: I don't have
to come home and do homework with him. He is learning all this at School. My
Stratford and Challenger friends think that that my son must be brilliant. I
wish I could give all the credit to my son. When I talk to my friends at
Champion School, I realize that virtually all of the parents have a similar
experience. The school must get at least some of the credit

I love the middle school. My child is in the 6th grade. He has excelled
academically and socially here. Their academics are higher than most other
private middle schools, and the best thing is that we did not have to do
hours of homework.

A is arithmetic work from an extremely advanced child, B is
arithmetic from a an advanced child, C is a cutout of a handwriting
board-work from a typical Pre-K student and D is reading ability
of an advanced student, which in the prior year represented 75% of the
Pre-K students. Note: Preschool children do not get any homework,
and the time devoted to non-academics activities in the half day program
is more than 50% of the half-day.

First Grade Students:

The work-samples above demonstrate how each child is allowed to learn at
his/her own pace. Work-samples above represent the most advanced
concepts being learned by 3 different students A, B and C in first
grade. We genuinely do customize our curriculum for each child.
The other point the above work samples illustrate is that kids have
amazing ability to learn as long as we don't underestimate them and
encourage and support them in a well-rounded and stimulating environment
-- these students have a lot of time devoted each day to a rich set of
creative, social and physical co-curricular activities.

Fifth Grade Students:

The student work above illustrates not only how advanced Champion
students are, but also the emphasis on deep learning and rigor.
Work-sample A: 100% of continuing 5th graders are studying Algebra-I.
Work-sample B: Even subjects such as science and social studies,
students are expected to answer questions in prose (not
multiple-choice). This leads to a deeper understanding of the
subject as well as it leads to developing writing skills. Work-sample-C:
Kids are expected to learn each of the meanings of a word and apply the
word in a sentence.

In addition to the academic progress whixh is likely among the top
0.1% of the students in the US, Champion students participate in a very
rich set of co-curricular activities and their homework load is probably
less than 1/2 of a school with high standards. We want our
students to have rich, well-rounded, happy childhoods.

Unique Characteristics:

§

The prevailing approach to schooling is more than a century old
where one teacher, one classroom, a set curriculum and a group
of 20-30 kids of a certain age work together as a grade for a
year. The system is optimized for what an average teacher
in an average school district teach an average class of 25-30
students. There is not sufficient consideration for the
individual student's abilities, progress, motivation, family
support system.... What if we came from an opposite perspective
-- what can we do to optimize our priorities, teaching methods,
processes and staffing to help an individual child reach his or
her maximum potential? Would we do things differently?
That is what Champion School is about. We are redefining
what a school should be. Ten years from now most schools
will be much more child-centered like Champion.

Here are a few aspects of what makes Champion School unique.

Unmatched Level of 1on1 and extra help: These
extra help sessions are crucial to accelerating the rate at
which a child learns. Which in turn frees up time for other
co-curricular and social activities crucial for a child's
overall growth and development.

Individualization/ Customization: Unlike
a typical school, it's not a one size fits all approach where
every child must learn the same curriculum irrespective of
his/her academic progress or abilities. For example, if a child
is new to the school, or if a child is very advanced and
progressing at a different rate, the school adjusts and creates
a customized plan. This requires a lot of administrative
effort/oversight that simply is not practical if the lone
classroom teacher were responsible for adjusting to the
abilities of each child. Champion has dedicated staff members
who create these named customized worksheet packets for each
elementary school student in the school. The child sitting next
to your child is likely doing different work based on his/her
progress.

This is only possible because Champion has a team of additional
teachers and dedicated curriculum planning/implementation staff
to back up the classroom teacher to help students progress at
their own pace. This creates a multiplier effect on an
individual teacher's effectiveness.

Small class size: Every
child gets focus and attention, not just the gregarious or
assertive ones.

Top 0.1% in the US: Academic
achievement of an average Champion Student is likely in the top
0.1% of students in the US. Here are a few examples:

§100%
of Champion's continuing 4th graders were learning Pre-Algebra
or Algebra-1 in 4th grade. This is typically done in 7th, 8th
or 9th grade in most schools. Additionally, this was done as a
natural progression of a child's progress. The students were
very comfortable with this as their natural pace.

§100%
of continuing Champion students are 1-3 levels more advanced in
reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar and writing skills as
compared to other elite private schools.

§70%
of Pre-kindergarten students were fully proficient in reading,
writing and multi-digit addition and subtraction while devoting
two-thirds of the day to social non-academic activities.

Among the most well-rounded programs anywhere: If
one compares the list, as well as the quality of co-curricular
activities that are offered at Champion, it is second to none.
The list of activities includes: Visual Arts, Performance Arts,
2nd Language, Computer Science (Terrapin Logo),

The list also includes activities that are unique to Champion,
such as:

§Computer
Science (JAVA),

§ Coaching
in sports (Soccer and Basketball),

§Public
Speaking,

§Debate,

§Coaching/participation
in Math competitions,

§Coaching/participation
in Science competitions,

§Coaching/participation
in Speech & Debate competitions.

It is our observation that as a whole, Champion is
probably among the top
0.1% of schools in the US that offer so many different
experiences/ activities/opportunities as a part of the school
program.

The goal is to inculcate analytical, critical/strategic
thinking, communication skills self-confidence, and leadership
skills over their journey through the school years.

Unmatched Return on Time Investment (RoTI): Time is an
extremely precious resource, particularly as it relates to
children’s education and happiness. RoTI is a critically
important metric as a high RoTI call be leveraged to improve
both the level of academic progress as well as overall
development of broad set of life skills, opportunities for
exploration, pursuit of individual passions and overall
happiness. Education should be fun and where a child gains a
full spectrum of knowledge and experiences

Maximum Free Time to Pursue Extra-curricular Interests and Passions
-- Most of Champion students participate in multiple after school
activities and compete at regional, state and national level.
Together with our parents, we feel it is important that the kids
should have the time and the opportunity to identify and hone their
talents.

Well-Rounded, Challenging Program

Champion School offers a broad, challenging curriculum, on par with the
very best schools in the world. Due to Champion School's unique
and innovative child-centered approach, an average Champion School
student's progress is likely in the top 0.1% of students in the US.
For example, 100% of Champion 4th graders learned either Pre-Algebra or
Algebra-1 last year. While most 8th grade students complete
Algebra-2 so far, most of the current 4th and 5th graders are on a
trajectory to complete either Pre-Calculus or Calculas-1 by 8th grade.
None of this is achieved by excessive amounts of homework. It is
achieved through nurturing and unmatched level of support and extra
academic help at school. There is not only a strong emphasis on
building a strong foundation of math skills but students are also
coached for math competitions which further develops their abstract
reasoning skills. Nine Champion School students won awards at the
2014 National Math Kangaroo competition. You can learn more
here. Champion school's program in Science and English
Language Arts (ELA) is similarly very advanced. ELA is taught
holistically through out the school day, even in other subjects such as
Science and History/Geography. Students are expected to write long
form answers to questions, not just multiple choice Q&A. ELA
itself is taught rigorously with individual periods devoted to
vocabulary, spelling, grammar, reading comprehension, literature and
writing. As students enter upper elementary grades, ELA program is
further complemented by focus on public speaking and debate. Which
is an essential part of our program to foster critical/strategic
thinking and persuasive communication skills. As students progress
through upper elementary and middle school grades, kids are offered
opportunities to participate in complex hands-on science and engineering
projects. Some of the more advanced are submitted for competitions
such as the Synopsys Science Fair. last year, nine students
participated in the Synopsys Science Fair and seven of them won awards.
Two Champion School projects were finalists for the Synopsys Outreach
Foundation's Next break through in Science and Engineering award, out of
a total of eight finalists. One of the Champion projects also
ended up winning the top award. You can learn more
here.

While Champion's academic program is among the best in the world, that's
just the beginning. Champion's focus is the whole child.
Champion fosters each child's academic, creative, critical thinking,
social and leadership abilities. Champion wants its students to be
great communicators and be confident in all situations. Champion
strives to provide every child with all the tools necessary to be a
leader of tomorrow.

That's why Champion places so much emphasis on all the non-academic
activities. No matter what path a student takes in life, these
skills are life skills and required to be successful in his/her chosen
career.

Note: Starting in the 2013/2014 school year, Hindi will no longer be
offered as a 2nd language option.

Top 5 Reasons you Should Choose Champion School:

Safety, Safety, Safety. Nothing is more important. This
is equally true about upper grades as well.

A nurturing and stimulating environment as well as a clean, spacious
and beautiful facility -- A happy child is more open to learning.

A well-rounded program which includes:

Critical/ Strategic Thinking

Communication,

Leadership Skills

Art and Crafts

Performing Arts

Music and Motion

Structured and Free Play

Story Time

Fine Motor Skills Development

Social/ Emotional Development

Individualization and Customization: Every child, particular
when he/she is of preschool age, progresses at her/his own
pace. We provide each child with significant additional (free)
1on1 academic coaching and allow her/him to progress at her/his own
pace.

Academics –Please see the work samples for advanced Pre-Kindergarten
students (2nd column from left). The advanced Pre-K students
are usually 50% - 75% of all Pre-K students in a typical year.
Your child has a beautiful mind too, as long as you don't constrain
her/his development, and you place your child in an environment that
is nurturing and stimulating.

Well Rounded, Fun and Stimulating Program

Champion School offers a well rounded preschool program to nurture
academic, creative and social abilities of every preschooler. The
preschool program is hands-on and stimulating. We strive to make
the environment like a 2nd home: comfortable, caring, nurturing and fun.
A vast majority of the day is devoted to creative and social/fun
activities. Preschoolers must enjoy coming to school. That
only happens if there is time for fun, play and socialization.
Only then do they open up to learning.

Preschoolers Achieve Their Maximum Potential

Thanks to it's unique teaching methods, unmatched 1on1 attention,
sophisticated assessment processes and a culture of high expectation,
Champion preschoolers do extremely well both academically and socially.
For example, last year, 70% of pre-kindergarten students were fully
proficient in reading and were able to read Chapter Books. Last
year, 70% of the students were also able to perform multi-digit addition
and subtraction with borrow and carry and were ably to write complete
passages on three line paper. Every 3 year preschooler enrolle in our 5
day program learns to read 1-vowel word books. Every 4 year
preschooler enrolled in our 5 day program learns to read 2-vowel word
books. Many preschoolers who have been with us from the time they
were 2 years old do even better than our baseline goal, as stated
earlier. All this is achieved without any pressure on kids or the
parents and without making any compromise on a child's play,
socialization time. Kids must be allowed to be kids.
